This question has been floating around the air for years now‚ The first bomb was dropped on the city of Hiroshima‚ Japan in 1945 of August 6. This devastating bomb killed around 135‚00. There was also a second bomb that hit Nagasaki on August 9th that killed approximately 50‚000. But the question remained was this necessary? In my opinion YES! Dropping the bomb was very necessary‚ it was also reasonable considering the fact that US lost a total of more than 418‚000 both military and innocent civilians

Chemistry of Bath Bombs Date: 16th May 2014 Introduction – When sodium bicarbonate and citric acid mix in water they dissolve‚ the sodium bicarbonate reacts with the citric acid to form sodium citrate and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide then bubbles out as a gas‚ which makes the bath bomb break up‚ in this experiment 3 tests will be conducted in order to find the correct ratio of bicarbonate soda and citric acid to create the

Determination of Trace Amount of Copper and Zinc in an Aqueous Solution by Atomic Absorbance Spectroscopy Abstract: The purpose of this experiment is to analyze a sample containing copper and zinc in trace amounts‚ where standard addition method was used and the instrument used is the atomic absorbance spectroscopy. The amount of copper obtained was 0.569 ppm ± 0.015 and for zinc we obtained 0.42 ppm ± 0.0027. Introduction: This method implies the excitation of particles in the solution sample

you’re bound to see updates on some war happening in some country. One thing that everyone on this planet seems to have in common is that no matter where one lives or who they are we all cannot escape the impact of war. The poem The Diameter of the Bomb brings this idea to light by talking about how the impact of violence doesn’t stop within the area it happened. “At the distant shores of a country far across the sea includes the entire world in the circle. And I won’t mention the howl of orphans

Experiment B2‚ Heats of Combustion – The Bomb Calorimeter. Objectives: To calibrate a bomb calorimeter by the combustion of benzoic acid. Then to use the calibrated calorimeter to measure the heat of combustion of naphthalene and calculate the heat of formation of naphthalene. Theory: q = C.ΔTBA C = q / ΔTBA Moles = mass / Mr ΔŪ = ΔU / moles ΔHoc‚298 = ΔŪoc‚298 + PDV = ΔŪoc‚298 + RTΔn C10H8 (s) + 12O2 (g) 10CO2 (g) + 4H2O (l) ΔHoc‚298 = - 1

IF YOU WERE PRESIDENT HARRY TRUMAN‚ WOULD YOU HAVE MADE THE SAME DECISION AS HE DID‚ WITH DROPPING THE ATOMBOMB ON HIROSHIMA? The 6th of August 1945 was a day that people will always remember with terror. On this day‚ an atomic bomb was used by the U.S. against Japan‚ in the city of Hiroshima. This was the first time in world history. Before this sad event‚ Japan and the U.S. were having conflicts with each other because Japan tried to invade parts of Europe and the Pacific. In an attempt stop Japanese
